What a powerful story of legacies and art passed through the hands and hearts of women! This message resonated with me and I am grateful to you for sharing its beauty.

“…let’s be clear from the beginning: Death is not a cosmic mistake. Woven into the warp and woof of existence, the presence of death deepens our appreciation of life...

“The more we embrace our mortality, not as an aberration of God and nature, but as an agent urging us on to life completion, the more our anxiety transforms into feelings of awe, thanksgiving, and appreciation...
“People who face their mortality live out their days with greater zest and joy. By facing a subject that usually depresses and terrifies us, we feel lighter, freer, more perceptually and cognitively alive in all our encounters... We are more aware of how precious life really is.”

Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, "From Age-ing to Sage-ing"

There’s so much work and love stitched into this runner and the love continues to flow, now from the daughter back to her mother. A beautiful piece.
